Just for the record before I started getting bated into the finer points of the douchebaggery, I was initially just pissed off that a kid who lived far away couldn't get some music he wanted, even waiting on the day it came out. Like he'd done for 3 other singles. This seems to be in line with your values about the accessibility of music, so I hope you don't have a problem with this part.[/quote]
I was also mad that he was being told that since he wouldn't get a copy, he actually didn't like the music and wanted an "artifact". Someone told him that. I'm not going to feel bad for sticking up for him when he's told that kind of shit.
I say some dumb shit on here a lot. But I don't regret anything I said on here today. This is all very well thought out stuff that I completely and firmly believe in. There are finer points to it that would need a lot of face to face discussion. I'd really love to get over and actually talk with some of you fools. Mike especially, he's a good one.
TreyAGAIN: WHAT THE FUCK IS BAD ABOUT BANDS/LABELS DOING WHAT THEY WANT?
If Jay wants to do singles like this, why can't he?
You don't have to buy them. Pretty simple.
If a label wants to make cool packaging, a limited run, whatever the fuck they want to do, WHY DOES IT MAKE YOU MAD?
I'll never understand.
IT WILL BE ON VINYL AFTER THIS AGAIN.
i got no problem with jay and/or matador with doing what they want. i think the idea behind the decreasing quantities is brilliant marketing. what bothers me is the apparent lack of respect from matador for the fans of the music. why put out a record if you can't respect those who are interested in it. poor packaging, overselling records, cancelled orders and and 3 pre-orders says that im not appreciated as a customer. that's what bothers me.
and for the record, im interested in this 7" b/c of the music. ive been fans of both bands for years (in fact im pretty sure i booked their first show together). ive got no intentions of resale for profits in fact i bought extra copies of the last 7" at my local store and sold extra copies BIY on ebay for the same price i bought them when others were getting $50+.
Spell it out Dummy! (I've got Coconut Coolouts fever!)What's Up Matador?!? Hey maybe you would be kind enough to tell us who the fuck else is getting copies of this so we don't have to deal with you again.
Same folks as the last three, they'll just get less copies of them. Once again we're sorry for fucking up but hopefully tomorrow will go a bit smoother than today.
i will be sure to google "same folks as the last three", thanks for your help! and hey posters, everyone makes mistakes, you should lay off these matador guys.
Sure, it is being made as an artifact or whatever, but he's essentially saying that he isn't into the music because he doesn't own the artifact. We've been pretty up front about how many of these we are making and where they are going, if folks aren't into it fine, but to claim that this is adding to more people downloading instead of buying just screams sour grapes bullshit. Dude could easily sell his first three singles to cover the cost of the LP or CD. He could also try again tomorrow and then maybe he'll feel diferently.I wasn't able to preorder, because I live in Europe and everything was sold by the time I log on that website. I'm upset, because I know they're gonna be sold for a huge amount of money on ebay by dirty scumbags who don't even care about the music. I got the first three Jay Reatard EPs and I really don't want to buy the LP. Fuck Matador. This is why people download music illegally and don't buy records anymore.Fuck it, I'll take your bait. What the fuck are you talking about? Why is it you don't want the LP? It seems like you are interested in the artifact and not the music. Come October there will be an unlimited supply at a reasonable price. Is that why you don't want to buy records anymore?
yeah but isnt it you guys that's "making the artifact"? I know you dont need more shit today, but fair is fair. dude has a point that its being made as an artifact to entice him and he cant get it.

When I was a teen, watching them as they came out, Animal House would have won hands down. It was so fucked up and subversive at the time (or at least seemed to be), but I have to say that Caddyshack has aged a lot better and gets my vote.
The Jerk beats them both.
Well in our case it is simply a case of having too many active titles. A constant struggle to try to keep new records in print as well as the back catalog. We're trying though and hope to have a lot of the "classics" back before the end of the year.what happened to the astralwerks neu! lp's?
They sold out and now they're gone. I'll never understand why some big labels run out of their vinyl reissues all the time when they sell really well (This includes Matador, Dr. Dave! Keep that PAvement and YLT shit in print! And where's the GBV bro???)
Nastyfacts (Think a vinyl reissue will compete with their pay-to-download setup)
Desperate Bicycles (This is an old story, but they don't want it reissued on any format. Period.)
Some ones I still don't understand:
Dicks "Kill From the Heart" (Who cares if it was booted, could still sell 1,000 at least, easily, in under a year.)
The remainder of the early Touch and Go catalog.
More Rough Trade vinyl (Scritt Politti early stuff being the only recent one I can remember. As time goes by, bootlegs appear, Pop Group being the most recent. Guess I won't try to reissue that!)
